1. For every workplace
a. Helping employees handle difficult people.
Mark is energetic, engaging and entertaining. More importantly, he leaves audiences with plenty of principles, formulas, strategies and skills that they can immediately use to do the job, feel proud and make the organisation look good. Mark has the right experience and knows that when employees have the tools to do their best, everyone benefits. Ask Mark.
b. Helping employees, teenagers and young adults control their drinking.
Mark has a proud history in helping people control their drinking. Mark works with audiences of all ages to help them develop the strategies, skills and confidence they need to devise a 'drinking limit' (which in many cases will need to be zero), organise how to keep to their limit, go out and have fun yet resist the pressures to go over the limit. Ask him how.
2. Specially for every teacher, parent and teenager
c. Helping teenagers handle difficult social situations — eg say 'no' to a drunk driver, ...
Mark is an experienced teacher with a great track record. He engages and entertains students while helping them develop the strategies, skills and confidence they need to: keep their drinking within a limit — despite high-spirited friends egging them on to 'get into it'; say 'no' to a drunk driver — even when others are willing to take the risk; handle a difficult job interview; and much, much more! Ask him how he does it and how he can help.
d. Helping parents help their children handle alcohol and alcohol situations.
Parents know that their children will go to places where there is alcohol and plenty of temptations and pressure to do 'the wrong thing'. Parents want practical down-to-earth strategies to help their children learn how to handle the real world and be safe — and Mark delivers! He has a great track record in alcohol education, policy and research. Contact Mark.
e. Helping teachers help students learn how to handle the real world — alcohol, peer pressure, ...
Teachers have a responsibility to help their students learn how to: handle a job interview especially a tough one; say no to sexual harassment; refuse a lift with a drunk driver, and much more. But they also know the shortcomings of traditional types of role-plays - they want something better. The answer is Real Life Rehearsals — ask Mark about it.
